Course Introduction

Business Process Analysis & Modelling equips participants with practical techniques to map, analyse and redesign organisational processes so they run faster, leaner and more reliably. The course combines a step-by-step process-analysis methodology with hands-on modelling using Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN), enabling delegates to translate informal work practices into precise, reusable process models that reflect stakeholder needs.

Participants will learn to capture enterprise-level process architecture and detailed workflow logic, diagnose process health, uncover inefficiencies and design robust “to-be” processes that improve competitiveness, reduce cost and elevate customer and employee experience. Practical exercises throughout the programme ensure delegates can apply modelling and improvement techniques immediately in their own organisations — from discovery and stakeholder analysis right through to selecting tools and implementing changes for real-world execution.

Course Highlights

  • Rigorous analysis is the foundation of accurate process description and improvement.

  • Process models create a baseline for measurement, testing and continuous refinement.

  • Modelling exposes redundancies, anomalies and constraints that hide in day-to-day operations.

  • Reusable process models convert tacit knowledge into tangible business assets.

  • Clear, standardised process definitions improve governance, automation readiness and handover.

Course Objectives

By the end of the Business Process Analysis & Modelling course participants will be able to:

  • Explain the components and types of business processes and how they link to strategy.

  • Apply structured process-analysis techniques to collect correct, objective information.

  • Define and model processes using Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN).

  • Build an enterprise process architecture and hierarchical process maps.

  • Analyse customer and stakeholder requirements and translate them into process measures.

  • Diagnose process health using performance metrics and root-cause techniques.

  • Design and document “to-be” processes and create an actionable implementation plan.

  • Select appropriate modelling tools and prepare models for automation or handover.

Participant Outcomes (what delegates will leave with)

  • Practical templates for process discovery, SIPOC, swimlane diagrams and BPMN artefacts.

  • A clear approach to move from as-is mapping to to-be redesign and pilot implementation.

  • Confidence to lead or contribute to process improvement and BPM initiatives.

  • Ability to measure process performance and prioritise improvement opportunities.

Who should attend?

Ideal for professionals who need to understand, document or improve processes:

  • Business managers and process owners

  • Business process and systems analysts

  • IT professionals supporting automation and workflows

  • BPM project leaders and project team members
